Great location right by pool

Dave2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

Great location. Affordable place to enjoy Lakeside.

Erica2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

Owner very responsive to messages. Nice neighborhood, lovely landscaping throughout community, beautiful historical homes in Chataqua, very family friendly. Great pool complex. Fees to park at your rental and daily passes add significantly to cost of visit. If you participate in all the "free activities" I suppose it is worth the cost per person each day. We only used the pool and played miniature golf which had small additional fee. Did not attend the movie night or performances offered or any classes. Can park off site for less money and walk to rental. We chose to park at cottage. 2 cars, charged per car approx $12 per day. Liked the little shops and restaurants. Getting ice cream each evening and sitting outside to people watch the highlight of the day. Lake Erie was polluted so could not swim in. Algae. Very smelly too. Rode ferry to Put n Bay one day. Went to Cedar Point one day. Cottage is very very rustic. Small. Cleanliness of the linens on beds could be better. Old stains, animal hair on sheets, comforters smelled musty and dusty when you shook them. The sleeping area in converted attic had to be accessed by a ladder on the pull down door. Would be okay for kids or young adults to climb the ladder. A window ac up there if you chose to use that area. Couple ceiling fans and a few portable fans in main area. No AC in main area. Outdoor area needs some tlc. Screen door off kitchen couldn't be open for breeze as the screen is pushed out and bugs come in. Microwave didn't work. Overall an okay stay. Wasn't in cottage except at night. For the price you get what you pay for. Nice they accept pets. The two realtors that rent vacation homes in Chataqua do not have any pet friendly properties.

Tamela2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

We really loved our stay, and would stay again. Cottage is in a wonderful location, clean, and has everything you could possibly need, except microwave wasn't working. Things you should know...the upstairs is up one of those pull down ladders. Three of our party could not use it. But it was great for the kids. Also, bathroom is in the kitchen with only a curtain. Could get awkward. Anyway, it was still a great value and our long weekend was really magical.

Susan2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

The cottage was wonderful. Kelsey was a great host. Lakeside 2017! We will be returning to The Fluke again. Thanks For Everything.

Rob2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Very rustic but great value. The pool opened the day we were leaving which we thought would have been open while we were there. It located right behind the house. Really like the location

Lynda2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Nice little cottage. It's cheaper and more spacious than a hotel room with a lot more amenities. The only thing that needs improvement is actual doors on the shower room and bathroom instead of curtains. We had a great time and kelsey was a pleasure to work with, we would definitely rent it again.

Let your family and friends join you at this beautiful Lakeside retreat. Use the cottage as a jumping off point to explore all the area has to offer. Walk the quaint and safe streets of Lakeside and enjoy this beautiful and historic community. Don't worry about bringing linens and towels. We will provide all that for you. You just need to show up and relax.

The floor plan of the cottage is very open and will help you bring together your family and friends for some much deserved relaxation. Cook a wonderful meal in the modern kitchen or just sit on the deck and enjoy dinner cooked on the grill. If you don’t want to fully disconnect from the world there is high speed internet access. The bedrooms are large, the bathrooms updated and the space is immaculately clean.

Downtown Lakeside offers dining, shopping, and recreation. It is just a short walk to all of the activities and the lake. During the season Lakeside is teaming with activity. July 1st a new 6,000 square foot pool, capable of holding more than 400 swimmers will open. The swimming pool features heated water, zero-depth entry, a water slide, five lap lanes and an expansive pool deck for families to gather. The water slide has two fiberglass flumes; one open and the other closed. Swimmers must be taller than 48” to ride. The pool closes for the season after Labor Day.
The beach (just lifeguard service you may still swim) and pool will be closed off season. Lakeside activities and shows are only going on during the time when there is a gate fee to get in. This said many restaurants and shops and parks stay open through October.
On the off season it is very quiet and would offer a great romantic retreat or quiet family getaway. Some of the restaurants close on the off season after Labor Day and before Memorial Day. There are plenty of shopping and restaurant choices outside of the gate during that time of year. All still with in walking distance of the cottage.

THis was our second stay with Kristin, and we are already looking forward to our third and fourth stays. Our hosts were very welcoming and attentive during our ten-day stay. Our family gathered from three different locations, ages one to 67, and we all had a great time. No only did the bed arrangement (from crib-size to king) fit our needs, but the open layout was great for both "mastering the art of walking" to mobility issues. THe neighborhood is great and the chataqua experience at Lakeside offers something for everyone: my son took sailing lessons while my son-in-law enjoyed the lectures on he presidents and national politics, and the kids enjoyed the magic and music shows and rock painting. Our hosts were responsive when we needed them and were very helpful with communications before our visit. This is a great place for families and I highly recommend this house and host for any occasion. Truly -- you only need to pack your clothes -- everything you need from soap or bandaids to beach towels and internet are waiting for you.

carol2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Our family had a great week at Kristin's place! We have two young kids and it couldn't have worked out better. Clean; convenient to all the activities, and relaxing. We needed help when we checked in getting hooked up to the internet and we immediately were assisted by Kristin's husband. We were all impressed by the floors and solid doors; the attention to detail; the artwork; and the ease of use and access. We have rented several times from strangers through various internet sites, and have nothing but great things to relay about our experience at Lakeside. Kudos to Kristin and Sean and we wish you many happy rentals ahead! Cheers!

Luke2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Exactly as described. We had a great stay!

Maria2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

We used this house as a family getaway and everything exceeded our expectations. Communications with Kristin were great. Finding and getting into the house went smooth. And the house was fantastic. Everything worked in the house and the decorating was warm and friendly. It's a short walk to the lake and downtown to get to all the activities. We were extremely happy with the rental and can't wait to go back in the future. We had a storm blow thru and a large tree branch was hanging from a tree. I texted Kristen and they came over and took a look at it right away. Can't say enough about how great our stay was.

Dirk2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home. Better than expected. Kristin was wonderful and responded very quickly to any questions and needs. Wonderful little community.

Jonathan2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

We felt very welcome in the home. Kristin kept me informed before our arrival of any details about our stay. The house included everything we needed for our stay and she let us know if we had questions, we could easily contact her. The description was spot on - no unfortunate surprises. The neighborhood was very peaceful and relaxing - families of all ages just wanting to have nice family time.

Kim2016-06-21T00:00:00Z

What a fabulous house with an awesome kitchen with a convection oven. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner for our foodie family. Great relaxing space and comfortable. Will love to return in the summer and enjoy the easy access to the lake.

Patricia L.2015-11-28T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home with great location. We loved how the house was stocked with everything we needed for a week-long stay.

Our cottage is close to the center of Lakeside, within walking or biking distance to the lakefront and Central Park, Hoover Auditorium, Rhein Arts Center, tennis courts, shops and dining. Nearby places to visit include Cedar Point, Marblehead Lighthouse, Edison's Birthplace, and Lake Erie Islands. You’ll love our place because of the coziness of the inside and the beauty of the outside. This historic cottage is great for couples and families (with kids).

A cute cottage in the heart of Lakeside that is perfect for a family get away. Beautiful trees in the back and a spacious front porch makes it really restful. Sleeps up to 9 with two bedrooms and one of the few remaining sleeping porches in Lakeside making for wonderful childhood memories. Newly renovated and updated kitchen is well appointed with all that you need to create meals or simply zap something quick in the microwave. Charming full bath with original claw foot tub with shower.

Lakeside is on a peninsula on Lake Erie in Ohio, between Port Clinton and Marblehead. From the dock you can see the Erie Islands and Put In Bay. Around the bend is Cedar Point. Rich in history and tradition, Lakeside has been a retreat for families since the 1800s. During the summer season, Lakeside functions as a Chautauqua offering programs for "mind, body and spirit" for all ages from dawn to dusk.
From entertaining concerts and shuffleboard tournaments to engaging lectures and children’s programs, Lakeside Chautauqua offers a variety of opportunities for families.

Rustic and antique. This is definitely a cottage and not a house, but, it worked well for our trip to the lake! The amenities indicate "AC", which there is, but there is one window unit to cool the first floor, and one for one bedroom (with a closed door behind it at the top of the stairs), which leaves the middle bedroom very hot, even with ceiling and box fans. I didn't feel this was properly communicated and unfortunately it was a very hot weekend in September.

Laura2017-09-24T00:00:00Z

Not a single cobweb! Rustic but cozy. Good location

Anna2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Sarah was a wonderful host! She's great with quickly replying and very helpful if you have any questions! The cottage is beautiful and very clean, fully stocked with everything you need to cook and clean. A unique and beautiful place for an overall wonderful getaway!

Kat2017-09-17T00:00:00Z

A very charming lodge with a lot of accommodations. Hosts provided bicycles, games, books, movies, and the kitchen was more well stocked with cutlery and dinnerware than my personal kitchen at home. Prompt communication. Thanks!

Quaint cottage in the middle of unique Lakeside Chautauqua setting. Hostess was very helpful, offering full use of kitchen and TV room, and respectful of our privacy.

Jack2012-08-07T00:00:00Z

Elizabeth was a really amazing host! Elizabeth provided us with all of the information we needed ahead of time and was there to greet us and show us features of the community -- she even provided us with some goodies in the refrigerator! The room and bathroom were great and in a really convenient location to everything within the community (There is SO much you can do there! We recommend watching the sun set on the pier!) and within driving distance to some great attractions in the area, including East Harbor State Park (great family beach!) and Marblehead lighthouse. WE LOVED our stay here and will definitely return if we're blessed enough to have the opportunity! THANK YOU Elizabeth!

Aja2013-07-08T00:00:00Z

Elizabeth is an excellent host & provides plenty of information about the region & the lakeside community. She even filled a fridge with breakfast goodies for us! We arrived pre-season & were lucky to avoid gate fees. The community was still about to prepare for summer, but strolling along the lakeshore was very nice. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Thanks again! Sabine & Silvio

Sabine2014-05-16T00:00:00Z

Swann lake is a "cozy cottage" according to my 10 year old son. The rest of the family agrees. We enjoyed our stay and everyone in the community was very pleasant. The location is convenient to a lot of local attractions. Elizabeth was a very atttentive host informed us all the things that were going on. It was a nice place to stay

Demetreous2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Our trip to Elizabeth's cottage was everything we hoped for! The cottage is really cute and very clean. Everything we could have needed was provided. Elizabeth had bacon and eggs for breakfast and even had a bottle of champagne for our anniversary!! She told us all about the area and different restaurants to check out. It was wonderful to get some info about the area from someone who knows local places. The weather wasn't that great when we were there but the cottage felt really homey and warm. We will definitely be back!

Shannon2015-09-13T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights at Elizabeth's cottage for my birthday weekend. We had a wonderful time! She was there to greet us upon our arrival, gave us the tour and explained everything we needed to know. She offered suggestions on where to eat and things to do. Elizabeth was very sweet, helpful, and more than willing to answer any questions we had. She even provided us with some breakfast goodies in the fridge. The cottage itself is very cozy and charming. It was the perfect size for us to spend the weekend comfortably. It even has a small back area with patio furniture and a grill. I would love to come for another stay during warmer weather to see what else Lakeside has to offer!

Megan2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at Elisabeths cottage. The kitchen was fully equipped and she even has a barbeque you can use. My kids enjoyed the splash park and the playgrounds a lot. Lakeside is a lovely little town to walk around in and the sunset is amazing. Elisabeth was very helpful whenever we had any questions.

sofia2013-09-03T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth and Swan Lake Cottage. Elizabeth was easy to communicate with and is very upfront in her description about what to expect. The space is clean and cozy and conveniently located. We would absolutely go back!

This is a charming house built in 1914. It has an awesome and amazing front porch with wicker furniture and porch swing. The lake, lighthouse, art galleries (including mine), restaurants, state parks and the ferry boats are footsteps away. 5 buildings east from the house is my store - Madame Rosie's Boutique and The Painted Rose Gallery. I have unique fashion for women and men, fine art, home decor, all under one roof. Please stop by for a visit while enjoying what the peninsula has to offer.

Ideal for couples.

This place was nice for a group of couples for the weekend. One bathroom made it a little difficult in the mornings. The house is very clean and has enough space for groups to be together. There were a lot pf decorations and antiques everywhere so it was a little nerve wracking since you had to be extremely careful everywhere in the house. Other than that, it was a good price and location.

Lindsey2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Loved (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication was great with rose before and during our stay. Great location with access to the islands, the house was lovely and fun. Would definitely stay here again.

Katie2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Rose's place was great. Stayed there with 4 friends over 2 nights. The location is amazingly close to the Ferry that takes you to Kelleys island. The sidewalk literally starts at Rose's place and goes all the way to the Ferry, it's a 10 min walk. For five of us (2 couples and 1 solo) the house was plenty of space and I absolutely loved the bathroom (bathrooms make or break a place for me personally). The kitchen was also nice and spacious and great for gathering around in the morning when we started our day. One of the bedrooms had a window mounted A/C unit, the other had a window fan, and the third relied on the other two rooms as well as a window in the hallway for ventilation. All in all with the heat of the summer we were able to drop the temperature in all the rooms to a comfortable point to go to bed. The convenience of being walking distance to the Ferry was great and check-in/check-out was very straight forward. Oh, there is also a great bakery right next to Rose's place so head over there in the morning and grab some goodies cause they sell out!! Also, there is a coffee shop less than 5 minutes away.

Victor2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great size house, comfortably fit our family of 5. Great location. Central to Marblehead and right down the road to Lakeside entrance. Kelley's island ferry is walking distance. There is a little donut shop right next door. The house is on a main road but we felt safe. The house is old but has character. We spend most of our time on the front porch. The biggest issue we had was the linens including bedding and towels. They smelled musty/not clean making it difficult to sleep. We ended up leaving early due to this. Overall good location and the host is very nice. I wanted to write this review not to be negative but more for awareness and improvement! Thanks for opening your home to visitors.

Courtney2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Great location! Rose was very communicative prior to and during our stay. Loved being near the shops (one of which is hers) and a couple restaurants in Marblehead. Will stay again.

Scott2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Rose was the perfect hostess. Her home was the perfect place for myself, my two friends and two teenagers. She had all the comforts of home. Conveniently located near the marblehead lighthouse. In walking distance to the best bakery in town and near a friendly tavern which makes great pizza. We enjoyed our stay and hopefully will use Rose again for future visits.

Carol2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Rose was a fantastic host who's great with the communication on the rental. The home was very quaint and in waking distance of restaurants and bars. Great spot for a small group to get away!

Michael2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Rose was very communicative and helpful along the way. She was always responsive over e-mail and she works in a small shop near the house and offered up that she was available for anything needed along the way. In addition, we initially booked for two nights but adjusted to three, and there was an errant pricing mix-up that happened with the booking adjustment. Rose was very quick in fixing things for us and made sure that our initial rates applied to everything. Rose was excellent as a host and a communicator. The house's location is a short walk to the lake, a short drive to ferries for any of the islands, and is also reasonably close to Sandusky. It's also nicely situated in town, being a very close to a great ice cream shop, a pizza joint, some cafes, and is right next door to a nice bakery. Parking on the street is a non-issue. The house itself is an older, classic home that comes with everything you would expect in such a place. If you're a techie or someone who needs to be within arm's reach of their devices at all times, this might not be the place for you, as WiFi and cable are not in place. But if you're looking for a charming, classic coastal home arranged with lots of art and artifacts collected over the years, this is a nice fit. Rose mentions in the bio that the house is ideal for couples, and I agree. One or two couples on a trip would do well here. The family room has an A/C unit and one of three bedrooms does as well. The other rooms have plug-in fans, so plan or adjust accordingly. Thank you for your assistance on our trip, Rose. We very much enjoyed our weekend.

Heather2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Had a great time at the house. The property was clean and the location was great. Mark was so friendly and always quick with a reaponse to any questions. Planning on making a return trip.

Josh2016-06-09T00:00:00Z

Very easy communication, house clean and even more charming than in photos.

Ami2017-09-10T00:00:00Z

The house was great. Lots of space for all 9 of us, lots of beds, 2 bathrooms and 2 ovens. It met our needs for the weekend. The location was wonderful. The owners were very responsive to all questions. I would recommend this house.

Trudee2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

We appreciated the hospitality and spacious home for our stay at Lakeside. One of the best features of this home is the location and ease to walk to the lake and all Lakeside attractions. The kitchen is fully furnished and the space allowed our 5 adults and 1 small child to move around comfortably. We appreciated the WiFi and ability to watch on a movie as a family on the generous TV/DVD player. Some suggestions for the future - missed having a place to sit and eat outside, the front yard/entry is in need of some TLC and Lakeside charm, and updated bathrooms would improve the experience of this home that has much potential. Mark was kind and always quick to respond to a need or question. Thank you for the stay and memories made for our family!

Karen2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in Lakeside and the family wedding. I accommodated the family, was clean and very clean and comfortable.

Susan2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Spacious house between downtown and pool. It had everything we needed including 2 parking spaces. Kitchen and downstairs bathroom are older, but it is a summer cottage. 2 bedrooms do not have doors that close, but all rooms were private. Plenty of living space for hanging out, playing games, etc. And very nice backyard. Great location.

Emma2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Mark and Lisa are great hosts! Their home is very roomie and they were very quick to respond to any questions we had. I highly recommend staying in their home.

Summer will be here and gone before you know it. Don't miss out!!! Take the Jet Express to the Islands and get dropped off at your door step at the end of the day. Take the Ferry to Cedar Point and leave your car behind. Back at the Condo we have a fully appointed space for 4, restaurants a short walk away and all the relaxing view you can stand. The time is now to Upgrade Your Stay....

Many great restaurants and local businesses within walking distance.

Mark was a great and helpful host! The place was in a perfect location near all the bars and restaurants and right on the water. It was a very comfortable stay. I highly recommend staying here!

Lindsay2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Great location for family fun!

Matthew2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

This place was incredible. Very clean, and the lofts were extremely modern. The pool was fantastic, and the surrounding food/drink are fantastic. Minutes from Cedar Point, so the convenience is great.

Ben2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Mark provided detailed instructions on how to access everything on the property. He was very clear, and was always available if we had any questions. He even let me use the address for an important delivery made while we were in town. Plus, he left us 2 bottles of wine! Everything was really clean, nice, and comfortable. I'm also in love with the teal sofa. I basically just melt into it.

Ashley-Drake2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

The condo was fantastic. Wonderful security, easy instructions, quick communication from Mark all weekend when we had questions. The pool is gorgeous and hot tub amazing. Within walking distance to so many activities. I highly recommend staying here... I know we will again in the future!

Kelly2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

The condo was great; location on the water front in the downtown district was very scenic. The Jet Express was literally a 5-minute walk away. Daly's Pub was just up the road; other bars like Volstead, Barra, and Mosley's were 5-10 minutes walk away as well. Inside the condo, everything was VERY well maintained and clean. Lots of basic necessities like towels, hand towels, paper towels, etc. It was very quiet, too; none of the neighbors could be heard, nor any one from the pool (this second floor unit is overlooking the pool). Great alternative to staying at one of the over-priced hotels for Cedar Point vacation.

Eliza2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

It was an awesome condo!! The owner even left us 2complimentry wine.

KishuXo2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Amazing condo just minutes from Cedar Point. We had a great stay. Mark was a great host and responded right away when we had questions. The pool and hot tub were awesome!

Two level loft condo. The main level has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, dining and living area. One bedroom has a California King bed and the other has a queen bed. The upper level has a separate bedroom with two sets of twin over full bunk beds and a loft with office space that overlooks the lake, a futon that can be used for sleeping and a TV. This lofted space which overlooks the lake is perfect for business travel or for use as an additional lounge area. All bedrooms have doors that close for privacy.
For your convenience, we supply all kitchen supplies and the kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, dishes, utensils, pots/pans, a toaster, a blender, a coffee maker, bed linen, bath towels, beach towels, soap and shampoo for 10 guests.

Sandusky, Ohio is home to one of the most beautiful collections of historical architecture in the Midwest. This influence can still be seen in the buildings of Historic Downtown where this rental unit is located. You will be amazed by this beautiful private property which overlooks Lake Erie and Cedar Point.

The extremely high ceilings and floor to ceiling window looking out at the lake made this place one of the nicest Airbnb's we've ever stayed in. It's open, updated kitchen, dining room, living room made it perfect for the whole family (we had 8 people) to visit and to enjoy the view without feeling cramped. The bedrooms were large and the beds were more comfortable than the ones we have at home. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and Cedar Point fireworks on the balcony and the nice outdoor café next door. It’s within steps of the Jet Express which can take you to Cedar Point or out to Put-in-Bay. The pool and the onsite exercise room were clean and convenient. What a great place to stay!!

Thomas2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

This place was absolutely amazing. The photos don't do it justice! it's huge modern very clean and extremely comfortable. My husband and our two kids aged 11 and 14 along with my mother stayed in this huge Loft condo. We could have easily accommodated another family of four and not felt cramped in the least bit. The decor was Modern minimalist very clean it felt as though we had rented a posh hotel suite. even the kids were impressed, they flipped out when they saw the bunk beds in The Loft area. I know that some people appreciate the quaintness of living in someone else's home and adore those personal details. I myself am NOT one of those people. I enjoy staying in hotels and this certainly had a hotel feel. It doesn't seem as if anyone actually lives here and it's very well maintained as a rental property. Because it is a converted Warehouse the ceilings are extremely high and there are no windows besides the huge window in the dining area that is facing the water. The views are phenomenal! Because of the high ceilings and no windows the smallest sounds sounds Echo like crazy. The sound of the kids getting out of the bunk beds made it sound as though someone had fallen down the stairs! Check-in and check-out was very smooth although I was a bit confused about what entrance to come in. it was probably my misunderstanding. Around this time of year it seems as though the majority of those staying in this community we're vacationers as well. The pool area was a lot of fun as many families you could tell we're also on vacation gathered there. The people who did seem to actually live there were very accommodating and seemed welcoming to those they knew we're guests. The ferry to the other islands is a short walk away although it was quite expensive so we didn't take the trip. There's a lot to do in the area it's certainly a vacation town from waterparks to mini golf and tons of places to eat. We were there to visit Cedar Point which was a quick 10-minute drive away. This experience certainly made me a believer in Airbnb. As someone who likes to experience different things every time I travel, I would certainly stay here again if I ever came back to the area. There's really no need for me to look for anything else.

Kara2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

Carla's place was so spacious and beautiful. My friends and I all loved it, and hope to come back one day to stay again! The view of the lake was absolutely amazing, and there were so many attractions close by. Cedar Point was only a quick drive away, and so many cute little shops are within walking distance.

Harman2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

The condo was gorgeous! Beautiful lake view and great location to walk to bars and restaurants! We really enjoyed staying for our girls weekend and hope to make it an annual trip!

Hannah2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

It was awesome! It is the best location possible to relax and have access to Put In Bay/ Kelly's Island/Cedar Point. Great food in the area as well! Very clean and modern. Couldn't ask for a better spot!

Halim2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

This place did not disappoint, in fact, it exceeded our expectations. Our kids loved their separate spacious quarters in the loft, which had 4 beds and many board games. The view of Cedar Point and the water are right in front of you, be prepared to take some great family photos at sunset. The space was very clean and hip, my 4 teens were pleasantly surprised. It was a little chilly for the pool but we took night walks around the area which was nice. Within walking distance to several good restaurants and shops. Very safe neighborhood, the loft building has a unique history. The location is right on the water and only a 5 to 10 minute drive to Cedar Point. The loft is well-stocked with all the essentials, but you will need condiments and spices if you plan to cook. Bottled water was in the fridge - a nice surprise since we didn't think to bring any. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our time in Sandusky, it's very charming and our accommodations were icing on the cake. We do plan to stay again next summer!

Bob2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed with 4 adults, three teenagers and two children under 10. The space was clean, roomy, and very modern. Enjoyed the stay. Loved the view of cedar point and being on the lake. The view was beautiful. Would recommend this place to family and friends. Carla's communication was awesome and never left any question unanswered.

Vincent2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Carla's place is spectacular and even exceeded our expectations. This place is ideally located for summer fun, Cedar Point, and enjoying all that Lake Erie has to offer. We had everything we needed - plenty of space for the six of us, all the great amenities in the unit and condominium and an amazing view. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

The cottage is decorated with a vibrant farmhouse style. It offers a full kitchen and dining table for 10. We have modern amenities like high speed internet and smart tv's.

We have many luxurious amenities in the cottage.
We have dual zone climate control for heating and air conditioning.

The internet speed is up to 70 Mbps.
There are HD flat screen Televisions.
The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and white quartz counter tops.

Four burner gas grill.

We are located 5 blocks from the lake. We are also very close to the new Aquatic Center with a pool and work out center. This center features a 6,000 square foot pool, capable of holding more than 400 swimmers. The swimming pool features heated water, zero-depth entry, a water slide, five lap lanes and an expansive pool deck for families to gather. The water slide has two fiberglass flumes; one open and the other closed. Swimmers must be taller than 48” to ride. The pool closes after Labor Day.
The beach (just lifeguard service you may still swim) and pool will be closed off season. Lakeside activities and shows are only going on during the time when there is a gate fee to get in. This said many restaurants and shops and parks stay open through October.
Downtown Lakeside offers dining, shopping, and recreation. It is just a short walk to all of the activities and the lake. During the season Lakeside is teaming with activity. Summer of 2017 the new Lakeside pool and fitness center will open. On the off season it is very quiet and would offer a great romantic retreat or quiet family getaway. Some of the restaurants close on the off season after Labor Day and before Memorial Day. There are plenty of shopping and restaurant choices outside of the gate during that time of year. All still with in walking distance of the cottage.

Beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo along the lake in downtown Sandusky. Ideal location to walk to local restaurants, watch the sunset, catch a boat to the islands, head to Cedar Point, and otherwise enjoy the revival of this historic downtown. A great place to stay for business, family vacation, or a relaxing weekend getaway.

Our place is located in the Chesapeake Lofts building, a former paper company that was restored and converted to beautiful lakeside condos in the late 2000s. You will stay in a unique unit with two-story high ceilings and windows, a west-facing patio, new furnishings, and personal touches from northern Ohio and our global travels.
We have a well-equipped kitchen, towels and toiletries in each bathroom, and closets in each bedroom.
Our building is safe and secure, and just a few minutes' walk from all of downtown Sandusky!

Sandusky may be most well-known for Cedar Point, its world-class roller coaster and amusement park, and easy access to Lake Erie and its islands.
Downtown Sandusky is also experiencing a wonderful revival as entrepreneurs, chefs, baristas, and other locals have begun opening little shops and top-ranked restaurants, restoring historic brick buildings and Victorian houses, and rejuvenating lakefront parks. It is a charming place to stay for whatever brings you to town!

Great location, safe, parking was so easy, perfect for parks/attractions, view is pretty cool too.

Joe2017-06-21T00:00:00Z

Christine's place was great, and as described. The rooms get pitch black which is perfect for a good night sleep when the sun sets late and rises early. Check in and check out was easy and flexible. The place is in a great location. We often walked when visiting restaurants for meals. The pool was great and a fantastic way to spend a day. The family loved the experience!

Jenny2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

What a great place! Christine communicated clearly before arrival, gave us a lot of info about restaurants in the area. Her condo is comfy, loved the dark bedroom which made it easy to sleep. Sandusky is really a great little town! We would definitely go back. Wish it would have been warm enough to use the pool, looked clean and beautiful. Thanks Christine!

Stephanie2017-09-10T00:00:00Z

Christine was very helpful and quick to respond. The place is clean and comfy. Quick drives to Miller Ferry to PIB and also to Cedar Point. Definitely take a walk around the building at night. Fantastic view of Cedar Point all lit up.

Chris's place is fantastic and just as pictured. The downstairs bedroom is perfect for anyone who needs total darkness to sleep. I don't so the loft bedroom was perfectly fine. Chris was super easy to work with and checking in was a breeze. We also got a charming tour of the building and neighborhood from his dad. I'd stay here again!
